Supercab Rust

Hey guys, I have that wonderful super-cab rust set on the lower portions of the cab extension on both sides.

Is there a current thread available on how to properly trim, prep and patch these areas?

I can do it, but I would rather see it properly done over making a potentially irreversible mistake.

Thanks

Bump for this! I have the same problem on mine and I have one very large repair panel for it. Love to see some good advice here.

Me too,..... Any pic's of the metalwork behind the panels? ....How did some folks handle the cab corner's between the back of cab & bed?.... Any one use glue on panels for repair instead of welding the new panels in place?.... If anyone has welded the patch panels in, did you pull all of the interior panels ,insulation and carpet back out of the way to reduce fire?

if nobody answers to this, i'm just gonna be doing it myself, more than likely in the spring, if you guys can wait that long, keep and eye out and you'll see a fully detailed post with pics and the procedures I took to fulfill the job.

that way there IS a thread in detailed description of the DIY How-To.

I just thought I would add this. I have used Rust Bullet and really like it so far.
